Should I go to Kent?

•

During my studies I've had lots of opportunities to get involved in societies and clubs, and meet new people.

•

I've also worked part-time for the Student Union who offer part-time work opportunities for students around their studies. I've also worked as a Student Ambassador part time too, which has allowed me to develop my skills when representing the university, and earn a little bit of money around my studies too!😊

•

I've also been involved in some panels too where we talk about the issues important to students. I have been part of a wellbeing panel, and I'm also aware of an International Student Panel too.

•

Canterbury campus is a lovely campus, and has everything that students need in walking distance. For example, students can find their lecture rooms, study spaces, the library, accommodation, and services such as Student Support a short walk from one another, which makes the campus easy to get around if you need anything.

There are places to grab a bite to eat on campus in Cafe's and restaurants, and there's lots of green space too for students to relax in.

•

Canterbury city centre is only a short bus or car ride away from the campus, which has some lovely cafes, a beautiful cathedral (where you'll graduate!) and some great places to shop too and spend time with friends!
